var SECURITYTOKEN = "$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]";


Then search all templates for this:

Code:
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
And then add this line of code right under the above code for every single instance:

Code:
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

So intead of the instances looking like this:

Code:
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

They will look like this:

Code:
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

On the other hand, you can use the template search engine and replace the code there, by following this screenshot.

Thanks, but like I said previously , it is not a template issue as they all have the correct coding in them.

It's not a Firefox issue, it happens in all browsers. What modifications have you installed? Give me a list of anything that isn't stock, and their page on vB.org.

This is a vBulletin issue, and every thread ever created about it, points to bad modifications or an issue in a template. I can ask a very well known vB modder or vB/vBSol. developer if they can take a look at the issue for you guys, if you'd like that. Sound fair?

But mind taking a look in the footer template? I turned back on DST correct 2 nights ago, and the errors stopped then. Perhaps another administrator took a look and fixed it, which is why you're not seeing any missing code.

Unfortunately you are incorrect. I have been dealing with vBulletin for the past 8 years and I can honestly tell you that the security token error is coming from the templates. Without the security token line in the template(s) then that error will come about anytime someone tries to access a page that requires a security token. So honestly trying to blame a firefox bug for the issue is not correct.

Firefox does not handle security tokens nor does it have any dealings with that type of information. All it does is display the page as it is coded, if the coded page is missing information that the script it is trying to access needs then it will come back with errors. So in all fairness you should really check your templates, double check them, then triple check them before trying to lay blame on a browser bug. The person who has been giving you advice I know for a fact he knows what he is talking about. Also searching vbulletin.com will return the same kind of fixes so frankly you shouldn't dismiss this as a browser bug. It has been proven to be a template issue.

Something else, if you upgraded vBulletin or the style itself, how do you know all templates are coded correctly? Upgrades can cause the same issue especially if you don't check them for missing lines or what not.

For reference purpose: My vB.org profile

Thanks for reading
Steve

I use Firefox 3.6 and I'm no longer experiencing this issue, thanks.
